Andy Crouch: Re-Risking is the Call of Your Life

What challenges in the world move you to prayer and reflection? In this episode, Jeff and Andy discuss: Preparing for your calling in the world, not just within a Christian community The surprising relationship between authority and vulnerability Taking focused risks on work that can bear lasting fruit How money can feel both insignificant and deeply influential Key Takeaways: You don’t have to stay in the same role forever, but growth requires continuing to move forward. It’s important for young people to see their parents pursuing meaningful work that requires trust in God. God rarely wastes experiences. The first part of your story often shapes what comes next, even if the path isn’t linear. Generosity can become a powerful turning point because it releases control in a way few other uses of money do. "You are called at every stage of your life to be taking on something that places you in a radical sense of dependence on God and, ideally, on some other people whom you have come to believe God has given you to go on this adventure with." — Andy Crouch Episode References: A related talk by Andy Crouch on faith and finances:    • You Cannot Serve God & Mammon with Andy Cr...   About Andy Crouch: Andy Crouch is a partner for theology and culture at Praxis Labs, a venture-building ecosystem advancing redemptive entrepreneurship.
